Buurtbosch and Pinetum: experience nature on foot

Luntersche Buurtbosch is a nature area with a distinctive pattern of tree-lined avenues. The hiking route “Rondje Lunterse Boer – Middelpunt van Nederland” passes through this area: it is 3.4 km long and leads through the heart of Luntersche Buurtbosch. The Pinetum de Dennenhorst offers a different experience of nature: an approximately 6-hectare coniferous forest garden in Lunteren. There, you can go for walks while discovering the rich diversity of conifers.

Hiking trails and cycling around Lunteren

For a longer hike, the 8.4 km “Route Topattracties Goudsberg – Middelpunt van Nederland” is available. It can be started at various points around Goudsberg. The two documented distances of 3.4 km and 8.4 km provide clear guidance for hiking days of different lengths. Cyclists also have a practical basis for planning their routes: the national cycle node network runs through Lunteren and its surroundings.

Goudsberg, the museum and local ceramic history

The Museum Lunteren houses a basement exhibition about the Goudsberg area around the “Middelpunt van Nederland”. “Goudsberg: Celtic Fields en IJzertijdboerderij” also features a reconstruction of an Iron Age farm with its associated Celtic Fields. Culture in Lunteren can also be found at De Koepel: concerts are held there and photo exhibitions are shown from April to November. There is a tea house at the Uitkijktoren de Koepel. A special historical episode took place in 2010, when initiator Marike Bouman took numerous local artists on a ceramic journey that gave Lunteren the new name “Tegeldorp”.

Bosbad Lunteren in the forest

Bosbad Lunteren is a family swimming facility in the middle of Luntersche Buurtbosch. It was built in 1937 and designed in harmony with its wooded surroundings. Outdoors, visitors can swim laps or enjoy recreational swimming among the trees. This adds a water-based holiday idea for shared days out to the themes of hiking, nature and culture.

Choose your holiday apartment based on your experiences

When choosing your holiday apartment in Lunteren, the mix you want of nature, activity, culture and a day at the pool is a sensible starting point. The paths through Buurtbosch and Goudsberg, Pinetum de Dennenhorst, the cycle node network, Museum Lunteren and Bosbad each offer a different focus.
